Learn How to Make Super Fun Air Dry Clay for Your Kids {Video}

Summertime is awesome because it makes my job as a mom easier. My kids keep themselves entertained running around outside (I just need to be ready with the mop to clean up in the mudroom). But come fall, I know we’re going to get a lot of rainy afternoons. In fact, we’ve had some unseasonably rainy weather this summer. So I am already looking or fun activities we can do indoors.

My kids are right at the ages where they love sensory play activities like these. In particular, they love gooey stuff like this slime. I was stoked when I ran into this video which teaches you how to make easy DIY air dry clay:

Video:

This clay is gooey fun and it dries after a couple of hours just sitting out in the open air; there is no need to bake it! So your kids can have some sensory fun but also work on art projects which will last.

In case you can’t watch the video, here are the ingredients:

You just mix it all together and it is ready to go! If you want, you can add in food coloring to get fun colors—or you can just leave it white so your kids can paint it for even more creative fun! Enjoy! Tutorial and video by Whatsupmoms.

  1. Great instructions! Shared this on our business page on Pinterest "Windmill Apparel", giving credit to you, of course! Now what to do with it after we make it!???

  2. Thank you for sharing! I quickly noticed a step must be missing when following your written instructions (we don't have fast internet to watch videos). Microwaving and kneeding after mixing are key parts to making this clay. I can't wait for my step daughter to get here, she is going to be so excited to have clay to play with!!!!!

  5. I was wondering if my granddaughters could make beads out of this. They want to make jewelry for gifts. Is it fairly durable after it dries? We made baking soda clay and it was not suitable for this project. It was way to fragile.

  7. Unfortunately the clay was so sticky . I followed the video and it's just sticking to the kids hands. Thanks

  9. I followed the video exactly and all I got was a crumbly messing resembling thick mashed potatoes. Any idea what went wrong?
